A bit better today. Slow to 1 and 2 but I think many people were... a bit right heading to 3 so went past 4 which seemed ok but was apparently slow. Went well through until 8, which I was a bit conservative for, ran around rather than up an extra hill and ended up too low somehow. Lost possible 1 min. Ok on long leg. Was able to push ok which surprised me. Again ok on next long leg, went left just for variety, I think it was best. Ok to 11 but came across Cam looking confused where I thought I should spot control. It was there, just behind him. Had a brief chat to him after punching which prob cost a bit of time and definitely a bit of concentration as was looking for a pit not erosion gully for 12! Lost a min for my sins.

NOL/SL2 day 2 Hard 5 - Splits

Event: National Orienteering Leagues 1&2 / NSW State Leagues 1&2
 

A bit of a shaky start with first few controls pretty easy but not trusting it could be that easy! A bit high on3, slow to 4 and 5 but accurate. Really blew 6. Ran around right of hill but somehow turned left crossing fully and ended up way high, in green and needing to cross additional gullies to get to right area! Lost possibly 2-3 min here :( a bit of a wobble leaving the control as well. Then all ok, but tired to last control. My lack of eyesight cost me probably a minute on the last, in sight of finish. I was looking for a boulder cluster in a blackberry bush, not a building surrounded by a fence! Oh dear.

SL1 Hard 3b - Splits

Just some time outside on a beautiful autumn afternoon. Ran a few new tracks for my MTBO mapping. Will be useful if I ever get the OCAD file... Alternated between feeling old, slow, ok, in dire straits etc.
